School trips to Iceland

School trips to Iceland are hugely popular for geography and rightly so. Discover a different side to the island - This is your invitation to take a field trip with a difference!

Iceland's geography is delivered in real time, right in front of your eyes. You won't see the bes tof this amazing country if you look at it from behind a coach window though - we can get you amongst it by climbing on the glaciers, rafting the rivers or caving through a lava tube.

With fissures, volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers and glaciers, Iceland is the geography curriculum come to life. With our long heritage of running school trips and our personal travel experience of Iceland the STC can create an exciting itinerary that combines the classic sights of Mid Atlantic ridge at Þingvellir National Park, dramatic geothermal parks and the black sand beaches with hands on experience helping bring the classroom to life.

Our programmes offer outstanding educational adventures that take you way beyond the usual 'look and see' type school trip. This is how Iceland should be experienced – witnessing the geological power of glaciers close up on the Sólheimajökull glacier, snorkelling in crystal clear fissures, or trekking to mountain huts high above alluvial plains. All our school trips to Iceland are tailor made.
